Well the lucky April fool, er, person who’s getting the $500 gift card to the home improvement store of their choosing – all thanks to Hometalk! – is… Rebecca (who says she and her husband really need a router table to change out some non-functional kitchen cabinets). Congrats!
Nope, this isn’t a joke. Someone somewhere in the world is gonna win $500 this week, and it’s all thanks to Hometalk. It’s a free community where DIYers and pros can exchange projects and advice, which makes it a great spot to discover new ideas (everything from major remodels to easy cleaning tips pop up). The photo-centric boards make browsing for inspiration a breeze and connecting with the creator is just as easy. And since Hometalk is all about helping you tackle our next project, they want to give you the right tools – which is why they’re serving up a $500 gift card to your favorite home improvement store (be it Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sears or something else). Not a bad way to ring in April, right?

TOOL ME!!!!
I am really hoping to invest in a sewing machine so that I can take on more DIY home decor projects. There are so many things that I see in stores and think…”I could make that!”, but I just don’t have the tool to do it yet! This could really help me towards making that purchase. We also are in need of a better solution for storing all of the tools that we are beginning to amass as homeowners, so this could also help with a tool box purchase! :) Thank you for always hosting such creative and USEFUL giveaways for your readers!
